General News of Saturday, 29 September 2018Source: classfmonline.comMahama will collapse Free SHS if given the chance – Akufo-Addoplay videoPresident Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-AddoPresident Nana Akufo-Addo has urged Ghanaians to reject former President John Dramani Mahama and the opposition National Democratic Congres (NDC) in the 2020 polls because they have an ill intention to collapse the flagship Free Senior High School (SHS) policy introduced by government. He was responding to comments by Mr Mahama who had said previously that he would better-run the Akufo-Addo government's Free SHS policy if he recaptures power in the 2020 polls. However, Mr Akufo-Addo maintained that the NDC promised a one-premium payment for the National Health Insurance Scheme (SHS) but it did not materialise during the past eight years of the NDC but “systematically the NHIS was degraded”. “So I’m very worried that the people who opposed the (Free SHS) policy, if they come to power, they are [rather] going to review it. He added that he was very confident that the people of Ghana will not allow the Free SHS programme to be collapsed by keeping Mr Mahama and the NDC in opposition.
